Strange color poop? Is it normal?

[Neel]

I purchased a new male cockatiel two days ago, he acts very lively and healthy but his feathers surrounding his private parts and tail is dirty and his poop looks like this. Though I've provided a common liquid syrup for better liver function. But the color is still the same. I'm concerned about his health. Can anyone give any advice please?

Seeds and fruits( not daily)

That color is strange. Typically tiels on seeds have green droppings. I would take him to the vet for a vet check.

The color is quite pale. I am not sure of the age of your cockatiel. A vet visit my be your best course of action.

It could be liver function issues.

While shape is normal, color is not . Nor is a dirty vent. I'm going to agree a vet health check is order.
What kind of seeds? A seed mix should not be the cause if this .
Keep us updated.

He's 2 yrs old, it's been three to four days of his arrival and haven't given him much to eat yet. He's having seed mix but the color of the poop is abnormal and concerning. I Don't have any avian vet nearby. Yesterday consulted with a vet and he said diarrhea and advised to give antibiotics but right now I just saw his poop color which is still strange. Really concerned about this..

Now that poop is getting fragmented it can indicate an infection, but not clear if would be bacterial, or other.
You can offer plain Greek yogurt ni artificial sweetener, look for live cultures one of which should be acidophilus. While it's not a cure , it can help support healthy gut flora. I've had beneficial improvements in poop with useing it. Tho mine where on appropriate vet medicine for their conditions. Many birds will lick it up and like it , mine I offer from my finger it out a half teaspoon in a flat dish . Even my budgies liked it .

Where are you located (generally)? I would recommend double checking here for an avian vet https://www.aav.org/search/custom.asp?id=5196
